I was very impressed from start to finish,the service provided was excellent. I cannot praise Dan Barnes enough for his prompt,respectful & kind handling of the arrangements,keeping us fully informed every step of the way. My father was picked up from the care home immediately after the doctor had certified his passing,& Dan`s colleague Kevin called us promptly to let us know. Dan either e-mailed us or made a telephone call to go through the arrangements, & I was made very welcome in my visit to the Littleover Office to sign the forms. The funeral itself was very well organised,& a great send off for my father

Carol Rubini 9th Feb 2021

    Very thoughtful and efficient service by Dan and his team at the Littleover branch. I would highly recommend AW Lymn. It was a particularly difficult time for me during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as it meant that I had to organise my Dad's funeral, who lived in Littleover, from my home in Australia. Nothing was too difficult, and everything ran to plan, ensuring the best possible service and arrangements for my Dad. Thanks Dan and the team.

    Dan helped us to plan Mum's cremation by offering advice and help during restrictions of the pandemic. Being local, it made arranging things was so much easier. We were also very grateful for the help and respect shown by Kevin Hall on the day of her funeral. Her send off was made much more peaceful and stress free. Thank you Dan, Kevin & all at Lymn

  • 5 Laragh Taylor 19th Apr 2020

    Dan and the whole AW Lymn team have been supportive and professional. Highly recommended 

    Nigel Lymn Rose replied
    It was with great sadness to hear that David, a friend of mine for over 40 years and a colleague for most of that, died on the seventh anniversary of the death of Shelagh who also worked for our family company in the latter part of her life. David always had a warm and friendly smile and I know that Dan, Kevin and all the staff IN our Derby area remember his with great fondness and were saddened by his death. We deeply regret that due to the COVID pandemic such restrictions had to be placed on the numbers attending his funeral but we will all remember him for his lovely friendly manner. Thank you on behalf of both the Lymn Rose family and the greater family of which David was a part being A W Lymn The Family Funeral Service.
  • 5 Martina Ashton 31st Mar 2020
